No rush but I was just wondering if S4Studio had an ETA on when the batch fix will be released? My game has been broken since the beginning of September (thx EA) and now it's almost November with no solution out yet. I would really love to get back to building but that's impossible without CC because TS4 by itself is hideous and unplayable. Would be great to know an estimate on when the batch will be released so I can look forward to it and have an idea of when TS4 will be playable for me again. Thank you for your time!

Hello there! This question has been asked quite a lot and there's an answer for it. S4S is not getting paid to make this batch fix. The person(s) that are making this fix have a real job outside of Sims Studio. A whole thread about it has been made here. We have currently no idea when it will be released. Just be thankful it might get released eventually.If you're really impatient, there's another thread with creators who have either created working cc windows, or updated their old windows over here. I know it's long but you have to remember custom content is not a part of the game itself and EA doesn't care if this doesn't affect the original game content. There's a LOT of tutorials using other techniques to be able to use the cc windows. Check those two feeds, but as I said, those working on the fix have real jobs, they're not paid to make this fix and I can't help but think about the HUGE headaches they must be going through.

wow so much hostility and rudeness which is unnecessary with a simple NO there is no batch fix as of yet would of suffice. Sorry people have questions if you don't like to answer then don't. Politeness is a great virtue. We do understand that people work and we appreciate what they all do. Thank you and God bless.

I have a sneaking suspicion it cant be fixed as it it seems to me EA have changed something fundamental in the construction of the windows and doors. So it's wait and hope that the original CC creators are still around and have the energy to fix all their cc or learn to do it ourselves!! Something to pass the time during covid lockdown!

There prolly is a curt tone used when answering this question cause truthfully, we are all waiting and trying to be as patient as possible. Existing members of the forum who've been here a while know the 'usual' drill for batch fixes but this hasnt been the 'usual' drill this go around. Now with the new cas patch looming in December I am sure there is high stress for s4s creators to get everything up to scratch. New members showing up to only inquire when it will be ready, when they could brush up on older forum threads to get the answers I think frustrates older members cause lets be honest, the community has a way of harrassing creators when they don't provide services they try to offer in a timely fashion. Creators have quit on the community ( with valid but sad reasons). I think there is a sense of defenseiveness for the team because we don't want them to feel so overwhelmed by this stuff it feels like a better idea to retire. At least its the energy I know I feel around the community, there is a pendulum swing between people who just can't be patient and need it now/asap and people who would wait till hell froze over as long as the people don't stop creatin the content lol. I don't think there is intended rudeness in answering questions about this batch fix its just we also have no answers and can only wait as well and we want the team to not feel pressured while we wait.

Dear Andrew, Thank you so much for your post… And for everything that you already have done for us. It is S4S that made Sims 4 such a great game. Please, take all your time , you don’t owe us anything … You and Orangemittens have your own lifes to live. Thank you again. And the most important : Take care of yourself.

Thank you, andrew ~ your time and effort do not go unnoticed and I'm with mehrlicht, please take all the time you need. There are actually things that are more important than the game. 🤗

Hey everyone The batch fix is still being worked on and it is coming along well. I expect that we will have it ready by this weekend. While very happy about this. Do you have a patreon? Or is there a patreon for the Sims 4 Studio? Or some link where donations can be made? I searched and did not find. I may have been using the wrong search terms.

Awesome news, andrew !! Thanks for all you do! My building plans were also thwarted by the patch (Grrrrr EA!) Even some of EA's own windows, doors and arches are not working right! That would be hilarious if all cc items were fixed before EA's. :D

So excited about this! Thank you, andrew ! I second the idea of a Patreon for those of us who would wish to contribute with something.

Something to pass the time during covid lockdown! no it can be fixed because Peacemaker and Ravasheen have both fixed their sets I think. Fortunately they are active CC creators and moved quickly. Now if I could just get NynaeveDesigns's sets fixed on TSR I'd have everything but she's retired so I'm waiting on this batch fix. I understand the people running this program have primary jobs and they can't dedicate all their time to this but a progress update would be nice since S4S is so fundamental to CC. I guess they don't want to give an estimate in case that can't be met

I guess they don't want to give an estimate in case that can't be met I'm sure it's the batch fix that was meant and not the "fixing" in general. Lots of people have already fixed their windows while the batch fix is still in the works. NynaeveDesigns has also already fixed all her windows/Doors/Archs. Check out the thread " Creators who have updated CC doors and windows". Thank you so much for the link!! I have a lot of her stuff so this helps a lot!

Hi all, the Windows and Mac versions of Studio have been updated to include a batch fix for doors and windows that were broken by the Star Wars patch. Both also have a feature that allows creators to generate the correct wall cutout after they've imported their wall cutout image.
